CFO Scott B. Flaherty sold 15,000 shares of WLFC over 3 days (Mar 24–26) for $2.7M; stock has fallen 26.4% from 52-week high

Flaherty, EVP and CFO, executed 3 separate sales totaling 15,000 shares for $2,697,899.65 at an average price of $179.86, reducing his stake by 17.8%. The sales occurred as the stock has declined 20.3% over 90 days and now trades 26.4% below its 52-week high of $231.63. His cross-ticker track record shows a 90-day well-timed sell rate of 50.00% with average 90-day returns of +42.6% after prior sales, indicating mixed timing ability; at WLFC specifically, 2 of 4 prior sales proved well-timed at the 90-day mark. The company's fundamentals remain solid—annual revenue growth of 36.0%, net income of $24,096,000.00, and a low P/E of 6.90—but the recent sharp price weakness and the magnitude of this 15,000-share reduction merit attention to whether this reflects confidence in valuations or response to near-term headwinds.

Significance 5/10

CFO Flaherty sells 5.0K WLFC shares at $200.19; holds 75.0K post-sale as stock rallies +7.9% in 30 days.

Flaherty Scott B., CFO of Willis Lease Finance, sold 5,000 shares at $200.19 on 2024-11-12, reducing his position from 80.0K to 75.0K shares. The sale occurred as the stock is currently trading at $201.01, only 0.4% above the transaction price, and WLFC has surged +7.9% over the past 30 days and +101.8% over the past 90 days. The company shows strong fundamental momentum with +34.2% annual revenue growth, $24.1M net income on $146.2M quarterly revenue, and a P/E of 13.47. This marks Flaherty's fourth discrete sale at WLFC within three months; his prior two measurable sales at this ticker (2024-08-23 and 2024-08-26) each occurred ahead of 30-day gains of +21.0% and +28.0% respectively, indicating a pattern of selling into strength. The sale occurs at a price near the 52-week high of $231.63 (within 13.2%), yet the stock's sustained upward trajectory—particularly the doubling of value in 90 days—suggests the underlying business momentum may remain intact despite the reduction in his personal stake.

CFO Flaherty sells 10,000 WLFC shares at $204.02 for $2.0M; holds 80.0K post-sale amid +118.4% 90-day gain.

Scott B. Flaherty (EVP, CFO) sold 10,000 shares at $204.02 on 2024-11-08, reducing his position from 90.0K to 80.0K shares (-11.1%), for a total value of $2,040,200.00. WLFC has rallied +118.4% over the prior 90 days and currently trades at $204.11, just 0.04% above the transaction price. His prior three trades at this ticker each resulted in subsequent 30-day gains (ranging +21.0% to +28.0%), though measurable 90-day outcomes are not yet available for two of them. The company shows strong fundamentals—$146.2M quarterly revenue, +34.2% annual growth, and a P/E of 13.68 at a $1.3B market cap. The sale occurs after substantial recent momentum, and his post-transaction retention of 80.0K shares reflects continued material equity stake in the business.

Significance 4/10

CFO Scott B. Flaherty sells 5,000 shares of WLFC for $546,719.02 across 2 transactions in late Aug

On 2024-08-23 and 2024-08-26, Flaherty executed two separate sales totaling 5,000 shares at a blended average price of $109.34, raising $546,719.02. The stock has appreciated significantly in the recent period (up 26.3% in 30 days and 67.6% in 90 days) and is trading near its 52-week high of $111.66, just 2.2% below peak. The company shows strong fundamentals with 34.2% annual revenue growth, a healthy P/E of 8.07, and $42.6M net income on $151.1M in latest-quarter revenue. The sale reduced Flaherty's holdings from 95.0K to 90.0K shares, a modest 5.3% reduction that leaves him with substantial remaining exposure. The transaction occurred against a backdrop of strong momentum and attractive valuation metrics, providing limited directional signal about management's forward outlook.
